About
So much can get in the way of feeling close to those we love, and sometimes even block us from loving ourselves. Pain and loneliness leave us feeling like we don't have much left to give. Echoes of past trauma can come alive when we least expect them. Distress in our relationships impacts our ability to handle whatever else life throws our way. But when our most important relationships are steady and secure, they can be an amazing source of safety, strength, and healing - I can help your relationships be that source.
Using the empirically validated techniques of Emotionally Focused Therapy, we will explore the patterns keeping you stuck and disconnected, then learn to access the vulnerable emotions that drive all humans. Your bonds with loved ones will be enhanced when you can share your needs and fears in a new way and learn how to hold their vulnerability in return.
You deserve to feel like the best version of yourself and more secure in your connections with others. Call or email when you're ready to start.
